Grapevines are challenged by a range of diseases and pests, causing economic losses and
requiring often costly approaches to mitigate damage. Public interest in reducing the use of …

Epistasis refers to nonallelic interaction between genes that cause bias in estimates of
genetic parameters for a phenotype with interactions of two or more genes affecting the …

The ability to accurately quantify the simultaneous effect of multiple genomic loci on multiple
traits is now possible due to current and emerging high‐throughput genotyping and …

Introduction Heat stress negatively affects wheat production in several ways, mainly by
reducing growth rate, photosynthetic capacity and reducing spike fertility. Modeling stress …

Genome‐wide association study (GWAS) by measuring the joint effect of multiple loci on
multiple traits, has recently attracted interest, due to the decreased costs of high‐throughput …

Maize is part of the essential food security crops for which yields need to tremendously
increase to support future population growth expectations with their accompanying food and …

The concept of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) was originally developed in
humans where it is very successful and has led to identification of key genes for disease and …
